Roy Austin first experienced an African adventure in 2018.All he wanted to do was get close to some African wildlife.Although Roy did realize this dream,he found something even more meaningful in Africa.
Roy spent time in many countries throughout East Africa.He was most interested in the people of rural Kenya,especially people of the Amboseli Primary and Secondary School.
During his stay,Roy became friends with several students and teachers at the school.He was deeply touched by their positive attitude,even though it was hard for them to get books and other school supplies.Even finding basic stationary was a challenge,not to mention the lack of school buildings.
In rural Kenya,school buildings are not built by the government.Students,their parents,and teachers find materials and build the schools themselves,or they have to raise money to get builders' help.Without schools,buildings like libraries and classrooms are just dreams.The students and teachers of the schools very much wanted a library or at least some books to read.
After returning home to South Carolina in the United States,the Kenyan students' yearning for something as seemingly "basic" as books to read still worried Roy.He decided to do whatever he could to help these children.So he started the organization Libraries for Kids International.
Since it was started,Roy has shipped over 11,000 books to 11 schools in African countries,including Kenya and Tanzania.To keep costs down,he uses the post office to send the books instead of a carrier like FedEx.The organization has helped to supply these schools with much-needed books,which brought Roy much happiness.He plans to continue shipping books to Africa.

2.I remember my math teacher Mr.Young very well.He stood out because the kids made fun of him.He was missing one of his fingers,and always pointed at students with his middle finger.
I was not very good at English and math.No matter how hard I tried,I just could not figure out why I did not understand what all the other kids found so easy to learn.
One day,I was told that if I got one more E on my report card,I would be taken to the "big prison for kids".
I tried really hard for weeks.I just couldn't understand how to make different parts of members into whole things.
The day before report cards were to come out,I knew that Mr.Young would give me an E,just like he always did.
I went to Mr.Young and told him that the orphanage (孤兒院) was going to send me to the big prison if I got another E on my report card.He told me there was nothing he could do;it would be unfair to the other kids if he gave me a better grade than I had actually earned.
I smiled at him and said, "Mr.Young,do you know how the kids make fun of you because you're missing your finger?" He looked at me,moved his mouth to one side and said nothing.
"They shouldn't do that to you because you can't help not having a finger,Mr.Young.Just like I can't help not being able to learn numbers and stuff like that." I said.
The next day,when I got my report card,I tucked it into one of my books.While on the school bus,I opened it:Geography,B+;Mechanical Drawing,C-;English,D-;History,C-;Gym,B+;Art,C;Math,D-.
That math grade was the most favorite one I ever received.Because I knew that someone in the world finally understood what it was like for me to be missing a finger inside my head.
